Those using Mozilla Firefox have it right in the browser

You will have to type it into Word and spell check it there, then copy and paste it into the reply window here.........it's a work around.

Thanks guys, I thought its a nice feature that other sites have next to the preveiw and post buttons. Didn't know if it could be done on here.

Dennis knows that we all talk funny and know what each other means even if we can't spell worth a lick. Just keep posting, we'll figure it out

Dennis is always looking at software improvements. Especially as support for existing versions starts to fade. Perhaps when the next upgrade becomes necessary spellcheck may be part of it. Hoo noes?

Like I said just a thought as long as People understand what I try spelling.

Download IESpell, it automatically integrates with IE and Mozilla now I think. I use it occasionally when I am in doubt.. works well.. but only limitation is stuff like..

Their, There, They're and other permutations of words that have more than one spelling and comes down to grammar.

What is that? I need ever word spelled correct for me to understand. lol just kidding. I am not saying it ha to be done. I found it nice on other sites when I get one of them brain farts and can't remember how to spell. lol

We all need all the help we can get with spelling and punctuation we can get or we would have/have had different professions. The most important thing is for all of us to do our best. We're not here for spelling lessons but it is easier to take someone seriously if they write as well as they can. Noone gets extra points for writing poorly.

Might have to ask Dennis to install some "Translation Software" as well

I think Dennis looked into it a while back, but the companies that provide the on line programs want quite a bit for their use, and since this is a non profit site, he decided not to use one.
